Someone has built a remote - and by remote, I mean nearly inaccessible - swimming pool as an art exhibit. I'd make fun of the old cliche' "Your tax dollars at work," but it's a pool!

I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.
